Re: Looking for models to rig! :D
Wow thats a great thread wonkey, I was searching for free models to rig and put my portfolio up to date with what I learned as a 2+ years as a techartist/rigger in the industry. Downloaded the sheep model but unfortunately for me there's no diffuse texture... :'( -
Re: 3D Artist to Technical Artist ?
Take a look at the Techartist forum there is alot of info. http://tech-artists.org/ An other good source is cult of rig. Even if you dont rig you learn the inner workings of maya. There is one stream on how to complie for maya. Depends on how far you would like to go.… -
Re: Should 3D artists be afraid of these ''tools'' ?
Tools like this are good, when you are on a tight budget and mediocre is "good enough". When you need proprietary stuff, someone (a Techartist) will have to setup it anyways. Take for example Mixamo, while we quickly got some "good enough" realistic characters out of it, we suffered to integrate it into our pipeline,… -
viewport diffuse, specular and normalmap painting?
Hey I came up with the idea how cool it would be to paint your specular maps directly in the viewport with realtime lightin in max using a special shader.

Re: Character Artist switching to Environment Artist?

There is no ''timeline'' for each asset, it depend on a lot of variable, I won't repeat what others said, but I agree with most of it. Piece… -
Re: Maya Menu layout
Hi UK Unfortuntely most maya users will tell you "no no you dont want that". But yeah unfortunately, menus that you tear off ... have to be teared off every session, otherwise they just disappear. I do use marking menus to access a variety of editing windows (outliner, hyershade...) or some 'one time only' modelling stuff.… -
Re: Confusion about Photoshop custom panels in the future
I never used the Configurator thing, but I think in comparison it was quick and easy to setup something - which is not possible right now - but i think it would be totally possible to create a panel to create tools like this configurator... Actually the whole CEP (common extension platform) from adobe is pretty neat!…
